Hi, I didn't play with cheat engine for a while but you can try to do the following. When you have discovered an address (for instance a variable related to life in a game), try to restart the program and check if the life has the same address. If not, you should try to find a pointer address (base address + offset). One way is to use the pointer scanner in cheat engine.
